Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc (IVR)

here is why:On May 9, 2020, the Company's board of directors approved the payment of the Company's previously declared dividend for the first quarter of 2020 of $0.50 per share of common stock (the "first quarter dividend"). The first quarter dividend will be paid on June 30, 2020 in a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock to stockholders of record as of May 21, 2020. Given the uncertain and rapidly changing financial markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company's board of directors has determined that the cash component of the first quarter dividend (other than cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) will not exceed 10% in the aggregate, or $0.05 per share, with the balance payable in shares of the Company's common stock. This will allow the Company to preserve capital and enhance the Company's financial flexibility.
